The Present


   I woke up from my sleep to the yelling of the guard, getting up from the hard bed I walked over to the bars, "Everyone up!" he yelled, I sighed as I looked across to the cell in front of me to see Aiden still laying down on his bed, but with his pillow over his face. I rolled my eyes at him and sighed, the guard walked up to his cell banging a stick against it, "Get up, the Founders wish to speak to you" Aiden groaned and threw the pillow off his face and at the wall, muttering under his breath he said "How is anyone supposed to get any sleep 'round here?" he had picked up my accent over a little while ago and smiled at me, Maya chuckled slightly, I looked at him then to the left to Gill's cell, he sat there against the wall, he had changed cents we got thrown in jail, he looked at me with a saddened look, almost all the color drained from his eyes, I returned the look with a reassuring smile, but he just turned his head way. The guards came to each of our cells and two of them held onto each of my arms and did the same to my so called friends, I didn't fight out of there grip, last time Aiden did that, they tased him, we went to go help but got tazed as well. They dragged us out of the prison and into the castle, they threw us onto the ground and we sat there on our legs, "You're a lucky few, you know that right" she said, none of us looked up, "Breck there shackles" she demanded the guards, one of them grabbed my arms forcfly and the other ran a sword through the chain. "Look up please, I don't like talking to the tops of your heads" We all looked up, I was standing behind Aiden and Gill was standing next to me, Maya was next to Aiden. My gaze traveled to the right of the Founder, there stood one of my best friends looking at me, his hair had turned a darker shade of blond over the 3 years I haven't seen him, his deep sky blue eyes staried at me, past my eyes and into me, into my soul. I returned the stare, me eyes showing no happiness what so ever, no friendship, no feeling, no love, only hatred. My eyebrows narrowed as I looked at him and then my eyes landed on the others standing next to them, Ovlia, Axel, Petra, and Jesse. More hatred filled my eyes as my blood started to boil, 'why are they here' the voice in my head asked, I shook my head and whispered, "I don't know and don't care" I stared into Jesse's emerald eyes, she returned the glare and the Founder looked at us "Jesse and I have come to an agreement, if you help them with something you will be freed" she placed her hands together in front of her, Aiden stepped ford and said "We accept". Next thing I knew we were back 'home', we followed Jesse to the fancy temple, I kept staring at the blond, I sighed and looked forward, we walked into the temple, "Ok, Lukas do you mind getting the cuffs off of them?" The name made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, "Sure" he chimed and walked over to Aiden and started to pick the lock, once he got his off he went to Maya, then Gill, he walked over to me and extended his hand, I gave him my arm as he started to fiddle with the lock, "So, how you been?" he said striking up a conversation, "Greate, living in jail has really opened up my emotions" I said "Really?" "No" I said blankly, he let out a nervous chuckle and went back to concentrating on the lock, finally he got them off. I grabbed my wrists and rubbed them 'I wonder what they need help with, and why they choose the four of you?' the voice said, I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to a table they were standing at.
